a. Graph the probability distribution.

b. Calculate and graph the cumulative probability distribution.

c. What is the probability that on a randomly chosen weekday there will be at least 24 riders from the subdivision on this service?

d. Two weekdays are chosen at random. What is the probability that on both of these days there will be fewer than 23 riders from the subdivision on this service?
